Stephen Rutherford and Lachlan McCubbin have produced a fine DVD of this production and you are invited to a screening on Thursday afternoon 17 February, from 3:30, in the staff common room. For a donation of $30 (which will go to refurbishing the new performance space) you can also get a copy of the DVD. You must rsvp for catering purposes (we will provide a light afternoon tea).

INVITATION FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS OF YEAR 10 WHEN: WHERE: 7pm, Wednesday 16 February 2011 SCHOOL HALL This is a most important evening for all Year 10 parents and students. Agenda items include: Basic Requirements for the School Certificate Assessment Requirements School Expectations Important dates Tips for success (experiences from past students) Manly Selective Campus School Certificate Medallions After the School Certificate organisation Meg Tulk Deputy Principal Senior School MSC has a strong cross curricula program which provides opportunities for students to learn about their responsibilities as citizens, both locally and globally. They develop their understanding of concepts such as collective identity, justice, ethics, conflict resolution and collective action are encouraged to use a variety of subject based skills in advocating for social improvement. The final goal of the program is to have students participate in a group action project to effect positive social change. In 2011, Year 8 will participate in a two day High Resolves program on the 3 rd June and 19 th August. Last year, this program was extremely successful and thought provoking, especially when students were challenged to reflect on notions of inequity through participation in an Oxfam style banquet. Our students were praised highly by the presenters for their maturity and engagement as well as their intelligent, articulate responses. Their work has even been used as models for other schools. Year 9 will now embark on a more adventurous global leadership program where they will continue to develop their understanding of citizenship and justice through an initial program which focuses on negotiation, decision making and advocacy skills. They will even have a taste of the dynamics of international negotiations. Finally, in groups Year 9 will work with the High Resolves organization and members of staff to determine, manage and deliver a project which “makes a difference.” The journey will begin on the 17 th and 18 th February. As in 2010, this year 25 Year 10 students will have an opportunity to act as leaders of Year 8 groups in the Year 8 High Resolves program as well as attend the High Resolves Global Summit which is held at a University in Sydney. In 2012, the High Resolves program will see another dimension where selected and interested students from this year’s Year 9 will participate in a community action project. More about this as the year progresses but it will be a fabulous opportunity for students to really develop efficacy in engagement with community and global issues. ‐ Lyndall Hutton (Head Teacher Teaching and Learning)
